bust-34-36", waist-28", length-45"
condition:
she looks very good and appears to have been hardly worn. however, upon super close scrutiny i noticed that she has several tiny patches at the inside left, lower portion of her skirt and again under the right arm hole - all of which are hard to see given the nature and color of the fabric. not sure if they were from moth damage, or a weakness in the fabric from age? also, there is a bit of variation in the dye near the hem. again, not really noticeable unless you're looking for it. price significantly adjusted accordingly.
